poetic umbrellah!
I lost my job
years before I should have retired
then took cover under poetry
and found 'tis a lovely umbrella
for guys like me much poorer fella
so do not despair
we all have to find a way
to meet our fare
but poetry is far from it
I have burned my fingers
these past 30 years
yet I trudge along lonely
without any fear
when folks like you
silly guys like me endear
so carry on why
fear
compose
emotional
worthy poetry
my dear
